Looks good to me. Same item is also £20 dearer from the same people so I would check this is not a refurb if I was buying it myself and it mattered to me, as I know they sell refurbs for a few quid less than brand new sometimes.

5% off since I posted this so even cheaper now than the headline price, no idea how long it will last.

This looks good but pricing is all mixed up.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Medion-E4059-Desktop-PC-AMD-Quad-Core-3-2GHz-1TB-HDD-8GB-RAM-Windows-8-New-/390867175305 Also £265 on their website.Not much info given on guarantee etc.Medion usually supply a set of recovery disks but no mention of these.Hot and thanks for posting.I suppose you take a chance when buying these off Ebay.

Medion systems usually use a fairly decent PSU. As for the recovery discs, its been a while since I've been supplied a working set out of the box. You usually get 3 blank DVD-R's and you have to make your own.

just had a look at a review of this specific model and according to that the psu is 450w so you could potentially fit a mid range gpu in there although power supplies arent that expensive these days so probably worth upgrading, for those not savvy with computers honestly its simple all cables have their own specific port, I would recommend the corsair cx for beginners as they arent expensive they are 80+ bronze certified and they are non modular

So little detail.
What MHz is the ram ?
What brand/power is the PSU ?
What brand & rpm is the HDD ?
Does it come with all the all driver discs including Windows 8 disc with product key ?
Does it come with all the original boxes ?

Had problems in the past with Medion laptops when trying to install a new windows & that alone would make me think twice about buying one of these.

I have one of these and its a squeeze to get an hd6670 GPU in .nd that was there recommended card for dual graphics.only gave me .2 boost to windows experience.
but it is a weird machine cos it could play all my games off 2 yes ago at 1080 p ? if it would fit a 750 used solo would be better.

Looks like a good deal. Will it be good for photoshop and photo editing in general?

I have the Medion Akoya E4060D with the same processor that I got from Aldi 2 years ago. Its only got 4GB of ram though, and I use it for processing raw full frame files from a Canon 5D classic. Runs Photoshop CS4 fast and works a treat, with no problems apart from the DVD writer has disabled itself when I was using some DVD burning software - so searching for an a fix for that (Toshiba common problem apparantly). I paid £340 a couple of years ago !!! HOT from me.

Any ideas what the motherboard is on this? I assume there would be room to add an SSD and I'd have no trouble moving the OS over to that as a dedicated drive? Also you can upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 for free, right?

I've emailed the seller, they replied very quickly but cannot confirm what the motherboard is and whether it has space for another HDD/SSD (although it surely will have?) or the power rating of the PSU.

Does not matter if the PSU is 1000w or 100w.It's more the brand name as cheap PSU's like Cit are dodgy & if they blow (as they do) then you'll more that likely lose other hardware at the same time. PSU's are so important in PC's & should be the first thing you make sure is decent when looking to buy a PC if your planning on gaming or editing etc.

I mailed them to ask about the guarantee and recovery options. Apparently its a years guarantee by them and also a recovery partition on the hard drive.Not much use if you need to partition the hard drive, as the recovery partition wont work.I know because i have a Medion pc.Very strange as Medion normally provide backup disks with all their pcs.I would prefer to buy from a known retailer.as too much hassle if anything goes wrong.

I hope you don't mind me asking (I'm a console man, not much of a PC gaming man), but by 750 Ti, is that a graphics card? I'm very tempted to buy this PC.

Yes it's a graphics card. Decent spec, will do most games at 1080p medium/high settings but it uses very little power making it ideal for systems with low wattage PSUs. They cost about £100.

Ah, thanks for the reply. I'll go ahead and get the PC now and get the graphics card sometime later.

You might find you don't need to. I built a machine with an A8 intending to upgrade it later, and 18 months later still no requirement to do so, but of course it depends what you do with it. This particular machine only plays Sims and Minecraft. My own PC is an A4 half the potency of an A8 and it games near well enough - currently bumbling through Dishonored.

Personally I wouldn't bother with a "crossfire" arrangement just get a good card that comfortably outperforms such an arrangement.
